Same economy yet how much more power does the MK6 have over it?
15 BHP.
195 BHP vs 210 BHP
The Mk3 was sitting at 4000RPM too...what does a Mk6 sit at doing 80 MPH?
3000RPM?
And with far better aerodynamics on a Mk6...where's the progress?
I do see what you are getting at with the whole broken engine thing, but thats just te way modern cars are I suppose. The fact the engine broke doesnt really help your cause though 
True...at least with a 'simple' engine and no OBD stuff to contend with, you can keep tipping oil in, keep changing plugs and drive 600+ miles with a broken engine!
Modern cars trip to the 'safe' condition of limited emissions too readily.
We would have been on a flatbed, had we taken my Mk6, not my Mk3 and it had broken.
